Chapter 10 West Gate



"Stop, routine inspection."

Hearing this obstruction, Xu Tianze thought to himself that something was wrong and signaled Old Qi with his eyes to come out and deal with it.

Old Qi wiped his mouth, lifted the curtain a little and poked his head out: "General, what's the matter?"

As he spoke, he held down the driver. You know, although this driver named Ma is a bit honest, his fighting skills are not low.

The last time he went out with his own prince, he single-handedly took down all the assassinations he encountered along the way.

Seeing that the soldiers just stopped the carriage and did not take any other action, Mr. Qi breathed a sigh of relief, then took out some silver from his pocket and stuffed it into the hands of the soldier who stopped the carriage.

"Sir, I was planning to leave the city, but I suddenly remembered that I forgot to tell my children and grandchildren at home, so I'm planning to turn back by car. I wonder if you would stop the car?"

At this time, Mr. Qi looked very frightened, as if he was just an ordinary old man from an ordinary family.

The soldier who stopped the carriage ignored it and only turned sideways when he heard the sound behind him. At the same time, Qi Lao and Xu Tianze froze when they heard the sound. However, Xu Tianze was not known in the carriage.

"This is the first time I've heard that the court physician of the Third Prince's residence has children and grandchildren. I wonder if you could let me see them?" Song Yu walked over slowly, his eyes fixed on the carriage.

He had been guarding the city gate for five consecutive days and four nights and was about to give up, but when he saw the third prince's doctor, he knew he had not missed it.

There was no trivial matter in the imperial family. How could the person who was brought to the palace by the Third Prince from outside the capital be just an ordinary palace physician? Moreover, the information brought back by the person sent out to investigate was too ordinary.

I had been keeping an eye on this subconsciously, but I didn't expect it would come in handy in such a place.

"I wonder where the carriage is going?" Song Yu's voice was trembling and gentle, which even he himself could hardly detect.

He was clearly asking Elder Qi, but Song Yu didn't even glance at him. If it weren't for the Third Prince's dignity, he would have pulled Elder Qi, who was blocking the carriage curtain, off the carriage.

Old Qi muttered to himself that the Prince of Zhenguo was sharp-eyed and careful, and he didn't lie again, but he didn't move out of the way either. He just stood quietly in front of Song Yu, and for a moment, the atmosphere was plunged into silence.

Song Yu felt a little disappointed after not receiving a response for a long time. He took another half step forward and didn't mind the wide-eyed old man Qi. He just wanted to confirm whether the people inside were safe.

"I've been looking for you for a long time." Song Yu clenched his fists under the cover of his sleeves, "But, since that day, I haven't been able to find you again."

Song Yu thought that when he went to Xu Mansion, it was already empty. In the past few days, he took people to search all over the city, and had people guard the city gate all the time.

Even if he was on bad terms with Ximen, he still made arrangements just to find out about Xu Tianze.

Every time he went everywhere with hope, and left with disappointment, again and again, until he was almost in despair, he finally saw the person he wanted to see.

However, the person he had tried so hard to see now didn't want to see him.

An inexplicable sense of grievance filled his chest, making his already bloodshot eyes even redder.

Xu Tianze's eyes in the carriage were also red, but his eyes were filled with not only grievance but also hatred and sarcasm.

What a wonderful phrase "after that day"! Where was he on that day? Now that half of the dust has settled, it seems that he is...

Xu Tianze took a deep breath, and after calming down a bit, he didn't lift the carriage curtain. He just stood there with Song Yu, and said, "Your Highness, you are joking. I have nothing to do with you. Why would you look for me?"

"What did you say? What do you mean by 'no relationship'?" Song Yu was already feeling aggrieved and resentful. Upon hearing this, he immediately pulled Old Qi aside and lifted the curtain. "We've been friends since childhood, and have been together for over a decade. And you're saying that we have nothing to do with each other?"

As the curtain opened, Song Yu and Xu Tianze looked at each other and were both stunned.

Xu Tianze was the first to react, and squinted at Song Yu sarcastically, "Your Highness has been incredibly busy these past few days. I heard that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was responsible for storing the Xu Mansion's final treasures. I never thought your Highness would be so busy."

When he went to ask Song Yu for help, Song Yu didn't even show up, and directly asked Jiang Xue to send him away, and bullied him in the process. Now he came to him on his own initiative, still looking exhausted. It seems that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has received a lot of profits from the Xu family's wealth.

It was really disgusting. Was this a show of force or a demonstration?
